Nothing has so stirred the motoring public in years 
as the Chrysler Hi high-compression en- 
gine. Through it the immense vitality and brilli- 
ance in speed, acceleration and hill climbing 

of Chrysler have been accentuated. 


Now, for the first time, the virtues and values 
of high-compression are available in fullest 
measure, to Chrysler owners, new and 
old alike. The ‘ is standard 
on the roadsters of the “52,” “62” and 
*72,”’ and on the Sport Roadster of the 
Imperial “80.” It is available at small 
extra cost for all other body models 
of these lines, and may be ap- 
plied as well, to earlier Chryslers 
now in the hands of owners.

Th ERE are more millionaires on Park 
Avenue, New York 

Than any other thoroughfare or section 
in the world 

That’s what the Income Tax men say. 

Go there some morning or evening and 
note the men who go into thé $45,000 a 
year apartments 

And you’ll see a Starched Collar crowd. 

Or look at the 

Aristocrats of Manhattan taking their 
ease in the big chairs at the windows of the 
Avenue Clubs— 

All Starched Collars. 

And look again at the men in the execu- 
tive offices of the big banks— 

Starched Collars again— 

And Arrows at that. 

So it only takes a few cents 

To dress like a man that counts.

Conditions in Hollywood 
According to the Public Prints 
THE motion picture industry has 


never been in healthier conditio: 
and prospects are excellent except 
for the fact that all the large pro 
ducing companies are on the verg 
of bankruptcy. A meeting of pic 
ture people proved conclusively last 
night that perfect harmony prevails 
throughout the entire industry. The 
meeting terminated in a riot which 
ended only with the arrival of Police 
Rese rves. Every one in Holly wood 
is busy and prosperous with the ex 
ception of sixty thousand people who 
are starving to death. Wall Street 
reports that never before hav 
motion picture stocks attained their 
present high level and Stupendous 
Pictures Corporation stock dropped 
from 109 to 2%, in less than an hour 
All the big studios are working night 
and day to complete their next vear’s 
programs. ‘There will be no motion 
picture production in Hollywood for 
the next year because the studios ar 
closing to save operating costs.

Ir is undoubtedly true that its in- 
gratiating service and superlative 
cuisine are responsible in large 
measure for the popularity of THE 
ROOSEVELT among discerning 
folk. 


It is equally true that THE

pitality without the penalty of 
excessive cost.

REAPING 


A man may spend a lifetime in thought and experi- 
mentation. But not until he sends out to the world 
the results of his experience, is that accumulation of 
any service to humanity. The Mimeograph is helping 
thousands to reap harvests of a lifetime. A modern-day 
requisite in commercial and educational life, with its 
remarkable ability to accurately reproduce letters, 
/ announcements, forms, maps, drawings, etc., it is one 
of America’s most successful contributions to the world 
' of useful things. It reaps enormous results with enor- | 
mous saving. Vastly large its products; vastly small its 
cost. A. B. Dick Company, Chicago, will be glad to send 
you a free booklet explaining this small wonder-worker.

“The Magic Flame’”’ 


HE strangely ill-assorted team of 


Ronald Colman and Vilma Bank, 


has had its ups and downs (ct 
‘The Dark Angel” and “The Night 
of Love’’); their latest, “The Magic 
Flame,” may be listed among the 
ups. 

It is one of those pleasantly pre 
posterous romances of a mythical 
kingdom, with a dual role thrown 


in to make things more complicated 


There is a lecherous prince and a 


noble circus clown, both of whom are

and both of whom, by the oddest_co- 
incidence, look exactly like Ronald

You men make too 
much work of shaving 


Because you think it easier to take a 
new blade than tu strop one, you make 
shaving just about twice as hard as it 


need be. 


| 
| 
You forget about the time it takes to | 
unwrap a new blade. You don't think 
about the bother of changing to another 
if the first one isn’t keen. You ignore 
the time it takes to go to the store for 
new blades. You don’t count the extra 
time it takes to shave with a dull blade. 
| 


Now consider the easy way. You start 
with one new blade. You spend 30 
seconds a day Twinplex stropping its 
edge to shaving keenness. You get a 
marvelous shave in two minutes less 
time than you required the old hard 
way. Daily gain 90 seconds. 


Keep using that one blade at least 30 
days. Gain 45 minutes and 30 cents 


At the end of a year you will have saved 
four or five trips for new blades, 9 hours 
shaving time and about $3.00 cash 
more than enough to pay for a Twin 
plex, which costs only $2.50. Other 
models $3.50 and $5.00 


If you want to shave the easy wavy, get

Pipe Smoker Enjoys 
Can of Tobacco 


Sixteen Years Old 


Of course, all good tobacco aged 
before it is packed, but here is a case of 
“aged in the can.” 





is 


On the strength of Mr. McDonald’s 
letter we certainly owe our packing 
department a vote of commendation. 


For no tobacco could retain its flavor 
and goodness lying in a dark musty 
corner for sixteen years unless it had 
yeen properly packed in an absolutely 
air-tight can. 

So while someone was deprived of 
this particular can of tobacco for six- 
teen years, it did provide smoke enjoy 
ment for an appreciative railroad 
cashier when it finally came to light

me a present of this tobacco. 

You will note the revenue stamp and 
your memo which was _ inclosed The 
tobacco was put up in 1910, sixteen years 


on 












ago. But it was in good shape, of re- 
markable flavor, and was greatiy enjoyed 
by me. : i

knowing how your tobacco held out in 
these days of fast living. 
Yours very truly,

The Fortunate Thing 
Tue young bride had promised to take 
care of Barbara, a neighbor's child, 
the afternoon. When tea 
Barbara was given her milk in the “com- 
pany china” cup along with the other 
guests. A sudden crash, and the new set 
was minus a cup. 

The child looked down at the wreck, 
and then up at the hostess. With her 
face wreathed in smiles and a little 
of relief, she said: “Gracious, 
lucky I drank all my milk before it hap 
pened !"—New York Sun.

An excellent earth, 
When up came a Woodchuck, a genuine 
groundhog, 
Who wanted the place for his lair; 
The Rabbit, impressed by a seventeen- 
pound hog, 
Abruptly departed from there. 


But shortly thereafter a virtuous Badger 
Slid down from a neighboring shelf; 
robber and 
cadger, 
Bequeathing the hole to himself. 
A Fox who believed in the law of requital 
Appeared through the bordering fern; 
He questioned the Badger’s 
title, 
Demanding the burrow in turn.

A battle ensued in a terrible smother, 
Affrighting the hardiest soul; 
The Fox and the Badger abolished each 
other, 
The Rabbit returned to his hole

morals, 
Accept it for what it is worth: 
“When all of the Haughty are killed in 
their quarrels 
The Meek shall inherit the earth.”

Here’s to Camel—on a million tables! 


HERE’S to Camel. How much added 
pleasure it brings to the world. Wherever 
congenial friends gather, or in the solitary 
hours of work or travel, Camel insures the 
enviable mood of enjoyment. 

All of the mysterious powers to please 
of the choicest Turkish and Domestic to- 
baccos grown are brought to fulfillment 
in Camel. This is done through a smooth 
and mellow blend that cannot be found 


anywhere else. For America’s largest 





tobacco organization concentrates its abil- 
ities in Camel. Into this one brand goes all 
of its power to select and buy and blend 
for taste satisfaction. There simply are no 
better cigarettes made at any price. 


Camel’s mildness and mellowness are 
the favorites of particular modern smok- 
ers. So much so that Camel’s popularity is 
greater than any other cigarette ever had. 
For your enjoyment of the smoothest 


smoke ever made, “Have a Camel!”’
